Dashboard problems in a 2011 Holden Cruze

Asked by Gary

The dash board of my 2011 Holden Cruze doesn't show the mileage. The odometer lights up and then goes off intermittently.

These little LED info-screens have been part of dashboards for years now, and they’re a known problem in many makes and models. There are specialist repairers who can either fix the screen you have or remove the dud one and fit a new one. Making sure the odometer still reads to car’s correct mileage is the trick.

Actually, that’s an important point, because a correctly working odometer is a roadworthy item. And one that flashes on and off randomly is definitely not working properly and is, therefore, making the car technically unroadworthy.
